What do you do for FUN?

cormie

So what do you people do for fun that doesn't involve going down to the pub, getting pished and trying to dance and forgetting it all the next morning?

Hail 2 Da Chimp

I do YORE MA for fun! (just to get it out of the way)

Train in MMA, although thats only fun when you're not getting injured or your ass kicked, go to the gym, enjoy chilling at home infront of the TV / XBOX after training.

Agreed! Altho I'm in my 20's! Still great fun

Ok bouncy castles aren't really an every day occurance. So if a friend was feeling down and you wanted to cheer them up by having some fun with them, what would you do?

I wouldn't really class tv and video games as "fun" either?

kev_s88

and if that doesnt work then i get together with my band and jam and hav a few drinks

IMO thats the problem with this country, Theres nothing to do really except to go to the pub. If ur goin all the time it doesn't seem tike a nite out at all. I've been trying to think of different things to do but havent had much success.

humbert

I go cycling(not competitively) when the weather permits. Some very nice countryside out my way.

You're entitled to your opinion

Cheering up a friend I'd bring round a bottle of wine to her place and have a chat.

You could bring your friend dancing, maybe to a comedian, try the laughter lounge maybe!

Make them a gift. My friend made me a gift a few weeks ago to cheer me up, it helped!


Or go-karting (I'm assuming you're male)

Kintarō Hattori

Ehhh hmmmm well I like the fun I can have with the missus. Ehhh I live about 5 mins from Cineworld so have the card for that, cycling is always good, oooh and cooking and baking. Yeah I know that last one is sad.

ah dude(or dudette:p)

There's tons of stuff to do here. what wud ye like to do that u can't find?

cormie

Ok, drumming and cycling although fun (I cycle myself) aren't exactly things you do with friends.

I agree, there's not a lot to do in this country for fun. Like hang out at the mall

An 11 line rhyme and not one mention of monkeys, I smell an unauthorised account access...

monkeyfudge

It's really more of a crimp than a rhyme...

Stercus Accidit

I like to work on things, mechanical stuff, never electronics, no interest beyond wiring my airsoft stuff.

Working on and improving stuff I find very enjoyable.

Time spent down in cork etc, restaurants with the GF, taking her out even just to abrakebabra and paying for it, dossing at work on boards, time spent with friends outside the pub is usually more fun for me.

Computer games a but if theres one worth playing out, zelda etc.

Oh I used to buy and sell, on the... buyandsell..., That was strangely satisfying.

Getting a bargain is always great craic with the haggle etc.

sunnyjim

Me and the lads grab a camera, go shoot some hilarious scenes for a movie - usually an American Pie type effort - grab cans, edit it, watch whatever we've thrown together, then hit a pub/party/club...

That's a regular enough occurance!

cormie

Back in my wild days of going out to pubs and clubs, the most enjoyable part of the night for me was always the journey home. Whether this was my friend doing his regular get naked trick, or popping into a 24 hour shopping centre at 3am and my friend robbing a jumper "just for the laugh".

I thin things used to be much more fun before the age of pubs and clubs, I mean every night was that walk home, just hanging out with friends and getting up to whatever. Much better than a ****ty nightclub where you can't even hear eachother.

Now there's something I'd love to do, sail.

Myself I train Judo. I love judo.

I eat, drink, sleep Judo. All day long I think of Judo and how I can improve.

I weight train too, and yes you've guessed it. My weight training is geared towards my Judo.

For laughs I have a pitbull. He's brilliant, hours and hours of enjoyment & my greatest friend.

Rovi

I shoot, and drive 4x4 vehicles off-road.
Not usually at the same time.

I was sure that said "my best mate is in my hand..."

Anyway, back OT: I do codewords, kakuro and other puzzling stuff. And boards, of course. And sex. And collect sports stats. I try to get fit, but I wouldn't consider that fun.
